🚨 DISINFORMATION ALERT @sehnayy is a Pakistani Propaganda Account. ❌ FAKE: A viral post alleges that Kuki fighters attacked a bus carrying 32 BSF personnel due to Indian Army oppression, citing alleged HRW figures of over 260 Kuki deaths in 2023. ✅ FACT: Human Rights Watch reported that over 260 people from the affected communities were killed in Manipur's ethnic conflict since May 2023. It did not say that 260+ Kukis were killed by the Indian Army. The claim distorts HRW's findings to push an anti-India narrative. No credible evidence has been established for the alleged BSF bus attack as described. ⚠️ Disinformation Pattern: Misrepresenting human rights reports, blaming security forces and promoting separatist narratives. #Manipur #FactCheck #Disinformation

He said “I extend my heartfelt Diwali greetings to you and your family members. The fact that we are able to light Diwali lamps in our homes today is because of the supreme sacrifice made by our brave soldiers. They laid down their lives to protect the country's security and sovereignty.

🚨 Another Pak Disinformation Network Exposed ❌ False Claim: Social media accounts are claiming that the PLA has entered Arunachal Pradesh in full strength, while Indian forces are completely absent from the area. ✅ Reality: The viral footage is old and actually depicts an armed confrontation in Myanmar. It has absolutely no connection to India-China border tensions or Arunachal Pradesh. 🔍 Accounts Spreading the Claim: @JingLiu532 , @Farida532 and @HiraYasirr2002 these Pakistan based accounts circulated almost identical messaging, raising questions about coordinated amplification. They have been identified in the circulating claims as Pakistan-based accounts. This is the classic disinformation playbook - recycle old footage, attach a fabricated military narrative and amplify it through multiple accounts to create panic and undermine public confidence in India's defence forces. 🔍 Verify before you share. Amplify facts, not lies. @MythbusterXX @adgpi @PIBFactCheck #FactCheckIndia #PakistanPropaganda #IndianArmy #ArunachalPradesh #FakeNews @MythbusterXX
